Bob Dylan's artwork is on display in a Lower East Side gallery in NYC this month, giving fans a chance to take "a visual journey" through Bob Dylan's life through paintings that the gallery says are

(photo by Seth Page) Okay, but seriously. Stop making so much music that we can't stop loving. Please! We seriously can't keep up with how good these guys called Plagiarists seem to be getting. Poppy in the right places, laced with so many hooks you lose count, "Wooden Horses" (off of Literal Scene ) is full of big riffs and even bigger hopes. (mp3) Plagiarists - Wooden Horses Godspeed!

Two weeks ago, we alluded to the terribly catchy song that the Minnesotans in Plagiarists made called "Church". Well, shit. We got an email today with the band's newest single and it's even more amazing. The track is called "Pockets" and it's a simply-formula'ed, all-too-familiar styled grower of a song. These boys are onto something. What we like most of all is the fact that "Pockets" is very very short. So short in fact, it forces its catchiness onto the listener as you have to keep playing it in order [...]

If you were looking for dark and steamy electronics that slowly build and loop, creating a dark alley way staring into the soul of Copenhagen... then look no further. The debut album from Lulu Rouge is hauntingly danceable, but also suited for sitting in silence. Lulu Rouge is comprised of DJ T.O.M. (Trentemøller's touring partner and right-hand for the last three years) and Buda, a well-respected DJ and producer on the Copenhagen scene. Debut single "Bless You" features vocals by seven-time Danish Music Awards nominee Mikael Simpson. The album (also called Bless You [...]

We've listened to this song on repeat for about the last twenty minutes (my, aren't we compulsive) and every time, we get completely caught up in the first two minutes thinking that this some forgotten Cold War Kids demo or something. It's completely engrossing and completely wonderful. Plagiarists are a Minnesota-based five-piece who've already put out two records (most recently, last month's Literal Scene ), are signed to Afternoon Records (cf. Now, Now Every Children ) and are arbiters of such a varied sense of their own rock history [...]

I'm going to level with you, I'm not crazy about this. I don't completely hate it either. It's a bit of a bummer when the coolest thing about a band is the guy who's promoting them. With that said, this one's for Ian! Please, take the time to tell him what you think. He doesn't care if you think I'm an asshole. He knows that already. He only wants your feedback about the band.

Mrs Smith takes control in this bizarre mixture of TV game show references, plastic women's bosoms (the way she says 'bosoms' is a joy), leaving windows open, and a woman getting her scarf trapped in the tube. Basic do do dos ape the main riff the way a child mimics a guitar sound and funny lines abound, such as 'Growing up, his family had no problems with nudity.' The similarity in inflection with Wendy Richards in the 'Are You Being Served' theme tune is the main joke in The Foul version.
